Stealth Audis!

["Al Powell" <APOWELL@agcom.tamu.edu>]

There are now two stealth Audis in TX.  Earlier today, Mitch Loescher 
and I switched the headlight and grille assemblies in our cars.  My 
1990 200 now has a Quattro grille and headlights, and his 87 5KQ has 
200 turbo lights and grille.

NOW try to ID us on the fly as we go past you!!!!  Hah!!  It will be 
real fun to confuse dealers, too.....

The swap took about two hours, and it was easy.  The only real 
modification required was that the 200 lights have TWO parking lights 
per side - so he needed to add wires to his existing parking light 
leads and graft on the lamps which came off my car.  I just clipped 
the extra lights I didn't need - gave them to Mitch - and put heat-
shrink over the wires.

Next step for me: getting the Quattro euro-headlights stored in my 
garage re-silvered and replacing the DOT Quattro headlights with 
them.  This will also require some wiring mods, but nothing major.

By doing this, we determined that the headlight/parking light/grille 
openings on the mid-80's thru 1990 5K/100/200 cars are absolutely 
identical!  If you have equipment swaps or replacements in mind, this 
is a real help.

Cheers........
